If your backup server isn't a windows box, ASR doesn't work.

> We are having real problems restoring a Windows 2003 server

> 1. We installed the OS manually which booted fine, however after
> doing
> the Legato Restore the system wouldn't boot - it just blue
> screened. It didn't even let us get into safe mode - we had
> the option of booting into safe mode, but when we selected it
> the server just blue screened again.

> 2. We used an older backup tape to do the second restore, just in

> the most recent tape used in the first attempt had
> corruptions on it from early stages of the disk failure. This
